Endeavor Catalyst’s Post

Endeavor Entrepreneur Jason Wenk, founder of Altruist, just announced a $169M Series E round, putting its valuation north of $1.5B and reaching unicorn status! 🦄 But, where did this billion-dollar vision come from? Jason grew up in a small town in rural Michigan raised by a single mother who, despite working incredibly hard, lacked access to financial guidance.📍 Early on, he decided he wanted to help people get more from their money. 🌱 Jason founded three ventures before Altruist but always faced the limits imposed by legacy technology. 🧱 He had a choice. He could continue running a commercially successful business or take a stab at revolutionizing the wealth management’s operating system. 🖥️ He took a stab at it. And now he is on a mission to make independent financial advice better, more affordable, and accessible to everyone. 🤝 ⏩ Read about his 20-year journey here: https://lnkd.in/dstyK7Yn #entrepreneurship #unicorn #venturecapital
